Chapter 823 Never Make Predictions

Not only Conte needs to care, but also the rest of the team. Some people are not easy to ask, but some players don’t have such a problem. For example, Buffon is the boss of the team and has always had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan. , also asked Zhang Yuan in private, Zhang Yuan still answered the same.

Not only these people are concerned, but also the outside media are concerned. Zhang Yuan just invited the whole team to a meal. In the media news the next day, they speculated whether Zhang Yuan was a signal to leave and invited the team to break up so early. ? !
After the game against Chievo, there is a one-day rest period. This period is basically one game a week. Conte will not use the players as donkeys. When it is time to rest, he still needs to rest. On the day of returning to training, reporters outside the base Just surround Zhang Yuan and ask such nonsense.

"I just invite everyone to have a meal. It is our traditional festival in China. Because of the impromptu moment after the Verona game, I want to invite everyone to have a Chinese meal. That's all, there is no other meaning! I Will it stay?! It's too early to talk about the future! Let's see after this season is over!"

The answer given by Zhang Yuan was ambiguous, which caused dissatisfaction among some Juventus fans. They didn't like such an answer, but for Zhang Yuan at this stage, he didn't want to talk too much, and he still walked in the future Lo and behold.

In the No.20 four-round match, Juventus sat at home and successfully won Chievo 3:1. This season, Chievo is completely different from the rival Verona in the same city. Verona is fighting for a place in the European war, while Chievo They are struggling on the relegation line. They have never won a game after the winter break, and their state is very bad.

This kind of Chievo obviously can't cause any big troubles for Juventus. Juventus won the opponent 3:1 at home without any difficulty. Zhang Yuan scored two goals in this game. Lini said: "I can't restrain Zhang Yuan, he is like another planet!"

Corini replaced Sannino as the new coach of the Chievo team in November last year. Of course, it is not the first time he has coached Chievo. After losing this game, his Chievo team is still unbeaten, which makes people doubt him. Whether the season can lead Chievo to successfully avoid relegation.

After this game, Juventus ushered in the first European game of the second half of the season, against Trabzonspor in Turkey.

Unlike the UEFA Champions League, there are still 32 teams in the Europa League in the second half of the season, which means that to reach the end, Juventus has to play 8 games, which is 2 more games than the UEFA Champions League final , This is a test for Juventus.

The Europa League is very important to Juventus. The club hopes that the team can win the championship at home. Although the Europa League has always been regarded as tasteless in the eyes of Serie A teams, the final at home must be different. By mistake, Juventus came to the Europa League again.

Before the Champions League was out, the media that was not very friendly to Juventus even laughed at whether Juventus voluntarily gave up the Champions League game in order to win the championship at home. This made Juventus very embarrassing and powerless to refute.

In addition to the three giants in Istanbul, Trabzonspor can also be counted as a strong team in the Turkish Super League. They recently won the Turkish Super League championship in the 2010-2011 season. This is not easy. You must know the Turkish Super League The championship is basically dominated by the team in Istanbul, and the other teams can only get some meat from their teeth.

Therefore, the recent seasons of Trabzonspor Sports should not be underestimated, and this season they have fully developed the unique characteristics of the devil's home court in Turkey. In the Europa League group stage, they won 4 wins and 2 draws. Lost, and recently against the Italian team, they are undefeated in three games.

But having said that, Juventus are not other Serie A teams, they are the Serie A class bully. Seeing that the number of rounds in the league is getting smaller and smaller, many media have described Serie A as no longer challenging for Juventus, Roma played so well They are still two victories away from Juventus. To sum up, Serie A is Juventus and other teams.

Moreover, the first round was held at Juventus's home court, and the possibility of Trabzonspor winning a victory was very slim, and the odds given by mainstream European bookmakers before the game also confirmed this point.

Conte attaches great importance to this game, but it does not prevent him from taking rotations. He has no choice. Juventus has heavy tasks in the game, and the gap in points in the league is still not very big. He must ensure the league at the same time. The next round The opponent in the league happens to be the arch-rival in the same city, Turin, so it goes without saying? !Turin must have worked very hard to play Juventus, and they must want to prevent Juventus from winning.

Zhang Yuan was very cautious about this game. He followed Conte to the pre-match press conference and spoke cautiously.

"Trabzonspor is a very good team, we have never played against them before, it is a bit difficult for us, we will not take them lightly, but at home, we hope to get a victory ! Take the lead in the two rounds of the game!"

"Zhang, you have scored 12 goals in the league. How likely do you think you are to defend your title as the top scorer?!" A reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport asked. This is the pre-match press conference for the Europa League!
"Compared with the title of top scorer, I hope that we can achieve three consecutive Serie A championships. This is an amazing achievement! I will work hard to help the team achieve this goal by scoring goals. If I can defend the title of top scorer, I will also be very happy. Happy!" Zhang Yuan still answered the question.

"So can you predict that you will score in this game?!" The reporter asked again.

"I don't want to make such predictions! I will work hard!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Regarding Conte, the reporters are concerned about the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Conte's team stumbled against the Turkish League team Galatasaray, but they encountered another one in the first round of the Europa League knockout round. Support Turkey, whether Conte's team will continue to stumble.

"Just like Zhang Yuan, I don't know how to make predictions. We always think in a good direction! If we play well in this game, then we will have a great chance of winning this game! Well, the best It’s a victory, and it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get a satisfactory result, there are two rounds, and the second round is decisive!” It sounded like Conte was trying to decompress his team.

Indeed, on the one hand, he hopes to win the opponent at home, and on the other hand, he does not want the players to bear the pressure. You must know that in the group stage against Galatasaray, Juventus achieved an embarrassing one draw and one draw. Losing is the most direct reason for being out. It is hard to say that the players will not have lingering fears about the Turkish team.

After the press conference, Conte and Zhang Yuan went out of the press room together. Conte smiled and asked Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Yuan, do you predict that we will win?!"

"So what about your prediction?! Coach!" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Guess!" Conte also smiled.

"Of course it is victory!" Zhang Yuan replied.

"You know it!" Conte patted Zhang Yuan on the shoulder, "You failed to perform in the European competition in the first half of the season, and you should show off in the second half of the season!"

"I can't wait!" Zhang Yuan laughed. He is still relatively relaxed mentally. Recently, his physical skills are very good. expect.

On the evening of the 20th, the game officially started at the Juventus Arena. Because it was the Europa League and it was not a weekend, the attendance rate of the Juventus Arena was not particularly high. Of course, according to the average Juventus Arena It is impossible for the attendance rate to be so low, 90% of the attendance rate is still there.

The starting 11 for Juventus are:

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defender: Obonna Bonucci Caceres

Midfielder: Isla Marchisio, Pierlo Pogba, Peluso
Forward: Zhang Yuan Llorente
Conte's rotation range is relatively large. The three main players on the defensive line have replaced two of them. In fact, Barzagli and Chiellini have no injury problems. The same is true for midfielders Peluso and Isla. Asamoah, Lichtsteiner, and Vidal were also rested, Carlos Tevez was hidden on the front line, and Llorente got the chance to start.

Zhang Yuan will definitely play the position of the second striker in this game. For Zhang Yuan, he is quite satisfied. As far as he is concerned, if it is a double striker, the second striker is undoubtedly suitable for him. If it is a three striker, he will Willing to play as a center forward with a wide range of activities.
